Mitt Romney Saved The Olympics

There is a new political advertisement where Mitt Romney talks about some of his top accomplishments.

During the commercial Romney mentions how he “saved the Olympics.” The way he makes his pronouncement sounds like an arrogant way to state this fact. Shouldn’t he have been a little more contrite. Maybe saying, “I was brought in to help bring the Olympics to the US.” This sounds much more preferable than stating he “saved the Olympics.”

I figured I would investigate the issue in general of him saving the Olympics.

The Olympics Romney was speaking of was the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002. After the September 11th attack in 2001, there were a lot of issues including financial that started talks about the possible cancellation of the Olympics.

The thought of cancellation of the Olympics was halted after the Governor of Utah, Mike Leavitt, flew out to Washington and met with President Bush.

Romney was the head of the Salt Lake Olympics organizing committee, but how he personally ‘saved’ these Olympics seems like political rhetoric.
